Hi Ed,

I don’t think I fully understand your question. Through out training, we are constantly trying to focus the student’s attention on the good performance. To concentrate on what they are doing right, in an effort to replicate that on a consistent basis. The outcome is a repeatable performance that tends to shore up other issues. Hope that helps.

I appreciate that your advice this week isn’t just applicable to firearms but rather is broadly useful across any instructed topic. You are truly fortunate to have a career with an salient impact that you also love.

I have been in classes where the agenda (curriculum) was weak or ill prepared and it always led to lost or wasted time and less effective instruction. This was a really good point.

You mentioned offering feedback in the form of score and intermittently throughout the class. I would imagine that constructive feedback of deficiencies is easier to apply and convey than positive reinforcement. My question is : do you have a method or advice on the application of these? (constructive feedback and positive reinforcement)

Thanks.
